Lara Croft is not a shooter but a platformer (with very very little shooting), Elder Scrolls games are of course hard core RPGs. But are Half-Life or BioShock shooters to you? (To cite the usual paradigms of the "smart shooter" genre, although I haven't played them myself; but I think they may be closer to SS than any of the games you mentioned, specially BioShock.)

Well, actually, I know nothing about "smart shooter paradigm". What games are falling into this cathegory? Obvious Deus Exes, System Shocks/Bioshocks and... well, what else?

Yes, I think, HL is shooter in general. Sometimes (like GTA, for example) it's more "action" suited to it than "shooter", bit in general, yes, it's shooter.

BioShock is different beast. I still didn't played it, but AFAIK, it's "streamlined" System Shock - without free world, but with quite free levels, some puzzles and thick plot inside. It still can be "action-adventure", but can be shooter too, I am not sure. Depends (for me) of amount of streamlining.

Hey there Abandonia users! I was recommended here by someone as they seem to believe you may be able to help me with a question I have regarding System Shock.

I am trying to get my hands on System Shock Enhanced Edition (or an alt. CD-Rom version of the game) complete with big box/inserts and was wondering if you knew of anywhere to obtain it? I know it's kinda rare.

I have looked on Amazon and of course eBay, but I was wondering if you knew of any specialist sites or trading websites (looked on GameTZ too) that would perhaps have some for grabs.

In addition, if by the off-chance someone happens to own this rather fantastic game themselves, is in pretty good/great condition and wouldn't mind making a fair chunk of change - by all means let me know! Money isn't really the issue so much as it is trying to find a copy of the damn thing!

P.S Yeah I know it's free, but it's just a collectors piece that I wish to own

Hopefully someone here can shed some light and point me in the right direction!
Happy gaming!
-Jack

You haven't yet realized that zombies in SS2 respawn? <.<

Easy, Yoga. Completed games list is not a measure of someone's important achievements. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, just play for fun only.

OK.
I see that my polite words are not acceptable from Capo.
I do not want to harm anyone.
No more words concerning his games or game list.

Hmmm...

My first impression is SS is good game.

Here is not my dilema from SS2:

To use pistol to kill zombi and then wrench to eliminate monkey?
How to kill this nasty turret?
Have i enough nanets to buy chips or so?

Maybe i will play SS and stop SS2.
Duno.


OFF
These hot sunny days in BG make me cry.
37 Degrees is not temperature for gaming.

Dear Kmonster, do You played W 8?
Danke.

You could hack that turret (if you can hide behind the corner just in range, so it won't shoot you to pieces in the meantime) if you selected high enough Cyber and Hacking values in the beginning, or you can shoot it, preferably with armor-piercing ammo.

Are you sure that's a game? I thought it's a comic only?
